Hernias do not go away on their own and there is no other option besides surgery. Before the surgery, a general anesthesia is injected into the patient. A laparascope is used for examining the hernia and inner tissues of abdomen and so the surgery is also termed as keyhole surgery. For insertion of laparoscope, small incisions are then drilled on the abdominal area. The inguinal hernia is repaired through inserting surgical instruments passed inside the body by way of the incisions. After that, a wired mesh is pressed over the hernia, keeping it in place through staples. Since the incisions made are very small, the surgery is deemed safe and minimally invasive.A Laparoscopic Inguinal is suggested by the doctor if:

Revision surgery - A laparoscopic surgery becomes a necessity when the previous surgery has failed or the placement of mesh has been done in an improper way or by an inexperienced paramedical personnel.

Incisional hernia - In men suffering from incisional hernia, the laparoscopic method is considered more advisable and so is opted for by surgeons.

Bilateral hernia - The presence of a bilateral hernia i.e. hernia that develops on both sides of pubic bone, necessitates a laparoscopic inguinal surgery.
